The nature of the beating changes rapidly, as if the band are quickly dropping one weapon and seizing another one sometimes the punishing grooves sound like heavy-caliber automatic machine-guns, sometimes like jackhammers, sometimes like mortar fire, sometimes like a bomb going off or the thuggish slugging of crowbars. Most prominently, it delivers a terrific percussive beating. “ Parent Organism” is an exhilarating, powerfully destructive, and fiendishly catchy discharge of death metal fury and mayhem. Three months is a long time between singles, and so we would like to cause further consternation among our visitors by again sharing that first one, along with a slightly edited reprise of what we wrote about it last October: You’ll also get a chance to witness the band’s own macabre appearances, which seem entirely fitting for the music they’ve created. It may cause queasiness in the stomach - and it involves a stomach in another way. Remember what we warned you about the video. But you’ll also encounter a dual-guitar solo whose swirling and soaring harmonies turn out to be as enthralling as they are weird. When the chords drag and whine in between jittery bursts, the music becomes sickeningly abysmal, and when the band erupt in a high-octane surge of battering drums and viciously seething riffage, you may imagine the feeding frenzy of maggots. The deranged shrieks, gruesome roars, and ghastly gurgles of lead vocalist Jai Benoit and backing vocalist Jerik Thibodeaux add to the music’s freakish and frightening impact. Its jolting rhythms are inescapable, and from beginning to end they tighten their grip on a listener’s reptile brain even as they’re loosening your bowels.īut what’s equally inescapable is the mutated nature of the blaring chords and squealing fretwork tortures that help build those grooves. To be clear, this generally mid-paced track is as heavy-grooved as a headbanger could want. It probably won’t be difficult to keep that information in mind as you become exposed to both the foul and filthy video for this new single, “ Bottomless Pit“, and the supremely twisted machinations of the song itself. The Golgathan rises from the collected offal secreted by each prisoner’s loosened bowels upon the moment of death”. The creature derives its name from the hill where Christ was crucified the collective suffering of the souls sentenced to death by crucifixion on that hill gives birth to the demon’s existence. As disclosed by Metal-Archives, “A Golgothan (also called a ‘shit demon’ or ‘excremental’) is a fictional creature composed of human excrement. This one comes with a video that will endanger squeamish stomachs.Īt this juncture the source of the band’s name bears repeating for those who might not remember. And now here we are again, three months closer to the record’s February 4 release by Lacerated Enemy Records, foisting upon the world the second single from Leech. Last October we had the deviant pleasure of helping to announce the release of a debut album named Leech by the gore-drenched, horror-obsessed, Louisiana-based death metal band Golgothan, and to premiere the album’s first single, “ Parent Organism“.
